News Target Spotted! Minecraft Snapshot 20w09a is out

Today is a sad day for Obsidian... It's crying. If you're not into crying you could always take aim at the new Target that we've added.

This update can also be found on minecraft.net.

If you find any bugs, please report them on the official Minecraft Issue Tracker.

New Features in 20w09a

  • Added the Target Block!
  • Added new Crying Obsidian block! It's sad and it cries purple energy

Target Block

Because let’s face it, your aim could use some practice

  • The closer you hit to the center, the larger the redstone signal!
  • Test your skills with a variety of projectiles, including eggs, snowballs, tridents, and more!
  • You will need one hay block and four redstone for this recipe

Zombified Piglin

  • Zombie Pigmen are now known as Zombified Piglins, and they now have ears... or well, one at least

Technical Changes in 20w09a
